Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Remnant price sticker on back cover. Interior and binding are still very good.

In this powerful and moving oral history, Nyamal lawman Peter Coppin, or Kangkushot , remembers a life of danger, drama and hardship, but also that which was significant in the movement towards social justice and social awareness for Australian society as a whole.

Born in 1920, Coppin was born in Yarrie country in Western Australia's Pilbara. His people were forced to work on pastoral stations for meagre rations, their lives subject to the whims of white pastoralists, government agents and legislators. But Coppin dreamed of a life for his people where they could access education and health services, and control their destinies. Despite great danger to themselves, he and others took part in the first major Aboriginal strike in Australia, the Pilbara Strike in 1946.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers, please note that this book may contain descriptions and/or images of people who have passed away.
